Having trouble connecting to the adchpp. Other people can get in fine, but when i connect i have to either use localhost or my lanip addy.
When using my external i get
[17:46:46] *** No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Nice, didn't know ethereal had been updated.
However i not really sure what to look for ? I figured my router didn't support loop back a while ago, when connecting to my nmdc hubs.
But i could connect to them using localhost, whereas adchpp disconnects me when i try using that.

Oh my, sorry, I had this problem myself, but I didn't recognize it from your initial description (which should have been enough). Since you're NATed, you've probably force an IP in DC++. This IP won't match what adch++ sees you connecting with, so it disconnects you. Maybe one of the lua gurus can script around this behavior - it's why NMDC hubs have exceptions to the IP checking.

hehe, okay, or alternatively since you, I and probably others suffer from this, i could submit a patch to adchpp ?.
(Just have a skip allowed ip's, to skip this check, in the config file ?, or just get it to ignore Localhost, and the standard LAN ip ranges)

That's why i initially suggested adding some settings for it. Decided against doing it that way for now, since i figured querying the xml everytime an IP wanted checking might decrease performance.
Obviously that patch can be modded to permit specified lan ip's easy enough for other people, but i figure that'll do me for now, until a nicer way turns up.
Suggestions are welcome, and i'll have a go at doing some.

Thanks mate, you are very kind, it's working. I guess most of this will require plugins, but is there a way to register for the hublist, and to add Ops, and to create an MOTD, and to set min share/max hubs?

"Every Englishman must have a hobby. Some like to collect the stamp, some like to make the jam, but the most fun is to a kill a little animal with a shotgun or rip them up with wild dog."

You can register on the adc hublist website.
How i sorted Op accounts out was using the !regme command, then manually editing the users.txt file. Probably a better way in access.lua.
I sure there is some way to set MOTD, not cannot think of it at the moment.
No idea about min share / max hubs, again worth looking through the adchpp.xml and access.lua files.

This is a shambles really. They're promoting ADC, no make that imposing ADC, when ADC isn't sufficiently ready. If you get the hubsoft running, only lord knows how to get on the hublist, this is reflected by the some 6 hubs still on the adchublist.org. As this hublist isn't in the main client it doesn't matter anyway since no one will connect to your hub. and all the while your DC hub decline further and further, 111 users in it at the moment, it used to be more than double that at this time. Shit happens, but these policies are blatantly absurd and are slowly but surely destroying DC.

Enjoy your ADC network with 6 hubs and a bunch of fucked over DC hub owners.

"Every Englishman must have a hobby. Some like to collect the stamp, some like to make the jam, but the most fun is to a kill a little animal with a shotgun or rip them up with wild dog."

And this problem is further perpetuated by an issue that can easily be solved, by removing the monopoly powers of the default hublists. DC has been at the mercy of hublists since the dawn of DC++, and still the issue hasn't been resolved once and for all. Absolutely pathetic.

"Every Englishman must have a hobby. Some like to collect the stamp, some like to make the jam, but the most fun is to a kill a little animal with a shotgun or rip them up with wild dog."

As a side note, isn't adchublist.org one of the websites that is vying to become popular? It borrows style from hublist.org, but it is not the same. Shouldn't they get at least a share of your vitriol, for making something that caused you more than a minute's worth of work?

well I think they should, its important we all think about whats best for the future and also stand by our morals. Its also good to support the people that spend all this time and effort coding and running services for us. Otherwise we would still be using original NMDC (and most likely have disappeared into obscurity many years ago).

Sure there has to be the correct balance between morals and practicalities. But these policies have little to do with morals, more with pushing a protocol forward prematurely and favouritism in terms of which hublists to display. and in terms of non xml hublists apparently it's better to have no hublist than a non xml one.
